Front facing carrier for larger baby?

My baby will be outgrowing our Bjorn before we know it. I was planning on getting an ergo, but it doesn't allow for front facing.

What have been your favorite larger baby size front-facing carriers that are comfortable for baby and parent's backs?

    I would go with the beco Gemini and do the hip carry, baby can see everything and the adult isn't in pain!

    I second the Beco Gemini!  I sold my Ergo for the Gemini after I tried it.  The Beco is easier to put on as well.  Super comfy for baby and parent!

    The resourece another parent shared with me agrees about the Beco Gemini. Besides the Bjorn, the Pikkolo & there is also a wrap that they describe as working for forward facing as well.

    I just got the Boba G4 and am really liking it, but that doesn't forward face.

    In general, people say to not front-face larger babies because it's bad for your body and possibly not great for theirs.  Also, some people complain that the gemini doesn't fit past a year, so definitely check it out with LO before you buy.  The attachment parenting board has a lot of suggestions for larger babies, but they'll yell at you if you want to front face.

    I had no idea, thank you!

    I'd see if you can find a babywearing group near you - they opened my eyes a ton - depending on age of your child a high back carry may help you both and be a life saver (then child can see over your shoulder but is in an ergonimic position for you and baby)
